Alarm: 
The alarm is located above the test button and will sound if the engine's oil pressure falls below 
15 psi.  In this event, the alarm will emit a pulsating signal.  The alarm will also sound if the watertempera-
ture in the fresh water 
cooling circuit rises 
to 
210' 
F. 
In this event, the alarm will emit continuous sig-
nal. 
*6. Water Temperature Gauge:  This gauge is graduated in degrees Fahrenheit and is illuminated while the 
Key 
Switch is turned ON.  The engine's normal operating temperature is 170 -
190' 
F (77 - 88°C). 
*7. Oil Pressure Gauge:  This gauge is graduated in pounds per square inch (PSI) and is illuminated while 
the Key 
Switch is turned ON. The engine's normal operating oil pressure ranges between 30 - 60 PSI. 
*NOTE: When the engine is manually shut down, and the engine's Key Switch is turned OFF, 
the water temperature gauge 
will continue 
to 
register the last temperature reading indicated 
by 
the gauge before electrical power was turned OFF. The temperature gauge will 
once 
again 
register the engine's true temperature once 
electrical 
power 
is restored 
to 
the gauge.  The oil 
pressure gauge will 
fall 
to 
zero when the engine is manually shut down.
